Use one of the well known formulas for uniform acceleration: .

Substitute the given data and solve for u.

Wow, thanks, I got the right answer!
This formula isn't in my syllable yet though, I think they're expecting me to solve it in a, well, more tedious way, since they're offering 7 marks. What are other ways to solve this?

Then your job is to derive the formula from the hints you were given. Or to go to an appropriate textbook and review the derivation.
